Facts

Item: The Indian Ocean

#1 

8
Article The Indian Ocean is the third-largest ocean in the world, constituting one-fifth of Earth's total ocean area and covering approximately one-seventh of the Earth's surface. Crisscrossed by historically important trade routes, it is home to 40 percent of the world's offshore oil production, and the relatively high traffic of oil tankers has prompted a surge in piracy off the Somali coast. Its northernmost current system usually flows clockwise, but in the winter, it reverses direction. Why?

Nice move your holiness... although somewhat convoluted. Surely some kind of rogue serpent manufacturer's recall would have been simpler...

I once got my winklepickers caught in my turn-ups and fell down a very long flight of stairs. Don't worry, I'm no longer a fashion victim.
Daddy Papersurfer 11:58:47 | 28 Dec 2012
I'd like to see Olypmic time trials on these...

I'm not entirely sure that qualifies as a 'eureka' moment... >8^p

Spookily this coincided with his wife asking him for a divorce.
Daddy Papersurfer 09:21:19 | 5 Oct 2012
The eureka moment for this was when the inventor farted in the bath.
Daddy Papersurfer 09:20:11 | 5 Oct 2012

Ironic, an aristocrat with two Chavs in his name... >X^p
Spiny Norman 08:16:28 | 12 Sep 2012
Left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing... or in fact undoing what the other has done. I've worked in a few places like that...
DJ 08:12:18 | 31 Aug 2012
I've marked this 5* useful as I might use it as an excuse next time I'm in the pub.
Daddy Papersurfer 18:08:53 | 29 Aug 2012
Next beach holiday perhaps...

Thank heavens for that - at least it's only one person that has it in for me ...
Daddy Papersurfer 08:59:51 | 30 Jun 2012
Sounds like a Japanese insult to me...

The 'c' is soft (a cedilla beneath?) that's why I put the ss in brackets. - pronunciation - ouriassoo?

Spiny Norman 09:04:26 | 20 May 2012
No wonder I'm confused ...
Daddy Papersurfer 18:41:37 | 19 May 2012
BTW 'puxe', pronounced 'push' in Portuguese means 'pull'
Daddy Papersurfer 18:40:54 | 19 May 2012
